Chemical Bonds Quiz

Why do atoms form chemical bonds?

• To make their outer electron shells more stable.

• To increase their atomic number.

• To decrease their mass.

• To change their state of matter.

What configuration do atoms aim to achieve by forming chemical bonds?

• Noble gas configuration

• Metallic configuration

• Liquid configuration

• Solid configuration

How do atoms form bonds?

• By gaining, sharing, or losing electrons

• By gaining, sharing, or losing protons

• By gaining, sharing, or losing neutrons

• By gaining, sharing, or losing photons

Which type of chemical bond is formed when valence electrons are not associated with a particular atom or ion, but exist as a "cloud" of electrons around the ion centers?

• A) Ionic

• B) Covalent

• C) Metallic

• D) Hydrogen

What type of bond is formed when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another to complete the outer electron shell?

• A) Metallic
